A: Warner Bros (#1 - $75, 3 hours, most comprehensive). Paramount ($65, 2 hours, historic Hollywood location). Sony ($55, 2 hours, intimate, budget). Universal (theme park, $100+). Warner Bros shows most behind-scenes. Book it!
A: Possible but not guaranteed! You might spot actors during filming breaks or see someone famous across the lot. Tours focus on production, not celebrity sightings. Lower expectations - treat celebrity encounters as bonus. It happens occasionally!
A: Warner Bros: $75 (3 hours). Paramount: $65 (2 hours). Sony: $55 (2 hours). Universal Studios: $100+ (full day theme park). VIP tours: $300+. Standard tours worth the price - unique access to working studios!

A: Warner Bros: Working studio tour (3 hours, intimate, behind-scenes). Universal Studios: Theme park with studio tour component (full day, tram ride, includes rides). WB for film fans, Universal for families. Both worthwhile but very different!
A: Limited! Photos allowed in certain areas (backlots, some exhibits) but NOT near active filming, inside sound stages with sets, or of confidential material. Guides specify when photos allowed. Violators get kicked out. Respect rules!
A: Maybe! Tours visit sound stages and backlots where filming happens. However, production schedules vary daily - some days busy, some quiet. Can't guarantee active sets. Guides share what's filming but access depends on production needs.
A: Absolutely for movie fans! Seeing where films are actually made, walking famous backlots, understanding production process - it's incredible. Warner Bros especially delivers. $65-75 for 2-3 hours of exclusive access is fair value. Highly recommended!
